Ben Simmons posted his ninth triple-double of the season in Monday's 108-94 win over the Hornets, scoring 11 points (4-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs) with 15 assists and 12 rebounds.

His nine triple-doubles are the most by a 76er since Wilt Chamberlain posted 31 in 1967-68. Simmons also racked up three steals on the night and this was his fourth straight point-assist double-double, the longest streak by a rookie since Darren Collison in 2010. The 76ers are in sixth place in the East, have won three straight and have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the league. Life is good for Philly fans these days.

Joel Embiid scored 25 points and matched his career-high with 19 rebounds in Monday's 108-94 win over the Hornets.

The Process hit 10-of-17 shots and 4-of-6 free throws with two assists, four triples and four blocks, but he was a little careless with the ball as he racked up a career-high nine turnovers. He attempted six triples on the night which is what coach Brett Brown asked him to do recently, and he made his 100th career triple in this game which makes him one of 10 7-footers in the NBA with at least 100 treys over the past two seasons.

Deyonta Davis will draw the start in place of Marc Gasol (illness) on Monday vs. the Nets.

Gasol is battling flu-like symptoms, so it's not a guarantee that Gasol will be ready by Wednesday. Davis is a nice blocks specialist and does have two starts to his name this season, averaging 11.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in those games.

Of course he is. The Grizzlies just placed him on the inactive list with no warning, but this isn't the first time a tanking team has been shady this season. Andrew Harrison (wrist) will start alongside Dillon Brooks and is a solid streaming option and pickup for the week.

He was given a 4-to-6 week timetable after undergoing surgery on his broken left hand in early March, and March 30 would be around the 4-week mark. The fantasy playoffs will almost be over at that point, but if your league runs through April, Hart could have some low-end value because he was playing really well before the injury.

Jose Calderon and Ante Zizic will return to the bench for Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Kyle Korver (personal) and Kevin Love (hand) are back, so the Cavs will roll out a starting five featuring George Hill, Korver, Jeff Green, LeBron James and Love. Calderon and Zizic won't be worth using anywhere with the Cavs getting healthy again.

Derrick Favors (knee soreness) will not play on Tuesday vs. the Hawks.

As Favors' owners know, his knee is always a concern and the Jazz will use this opportunity to give him some extra rest vs. the tanking Hawks. We'll list Favors as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Mavericks. Jonas Jerebko will pick up some of Favors' minutes and we may see more small ball with guys like Royce O'Neale and Jae Crowder stepping up.

John Collins (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Collins suffered the injury during Saturday's game, and it's not a great sign that he's being ruled out a full 24 hours in advance. The Hawks do have four games this week, but with two of them being a Thursday-Friday back-to-back set, Collins might only be available for two of those four games. He was playing well prior to going down, but with him out until at least Thursday, he's a cut-candidate in standard leagues. Mike Muscala and Dewayne Dedmon will benefit in his absence.
